Hello Everyone,
In between all that is going on here at Wilder's Last Resort, my box of fabric arrived from Henry Glass & Company. This means I'm putting on my Madam Ambassador hat. The box was full of Folk Art Flannels by One Sister Designs.
The box contained 21 yards of flannel! I think the cabin is going to have a new "cabiny" quilt on display. The fabric is a very soft, 2-ply flannel. My new design will be unfolding during this month.
I made a test block first to see how accurate I could make 1" HST with flannel. I was pleasantly surprised that the technique of making 8 HST triangles at a time worked beautifully using 2-ply flannel. The technique is located here in my Virtual Classroom. I will try to get the other block that is in the design made today, before I proceed any further.
I'm also writing the directions for my "Crossing the Pond" pattern. There is a lot of attention to detail in that design. I'm checking and double-checking every word and calculations on every page. Luckily, my career prepared me for precise detail, the ability to make my own graphics, and tie it all together into a pattern.
On another note, the painters should finish staining the cabin today. Once the process is finished, and we get the decks put back together with everything in place, I will post pictures. Now the cabin looks fresh, and squeaky clean. It looks like a new cabin.
Our grandson is supposed to play in a baseball tournament this weekend. The team hasn't played since February. The games are about a 1-1/2 hour drive away from us. We plan on going even though it is supposed to be 110 degrees! Hopefully we can find a tree to sit under. The first game is at 8am, so that game should be survivable, The 10:30am game may be a different story. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the games were cancelled. If I get cold, I can wrap myself up in the 21 yards of flannel.......NOT!
Soon,
Madam Ambassador
